The Key Libraries I use:

• Spectre Console – https://spectreconsole.net/
• XUnit – Testing: https://xunit.net/?tabs=cs
• Tekla APIs – Downloaded from Nuget.

Automation

This is a live production / job example of how we can quickly / accurately detail sheds at scale.

Meaning we can handle:

(i) volume
(ii) speed

You can do the same too!

If you have questions or need assistance automating – feel free to email: koshy@tek1.com.au or ben.chenathara@gmail.com or visit our website: https://www.tek1.com.au/ or +61 0411 022 502 if you need to call me.

Or if you wish to develop the software yourself checkout our blog posts – where all the basic elements to create this type of automation is present.
